Acetylcholine deficiency is important in the development of disease symptoms. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, an important enzyme in acetylcholine hydrolysis, is one of the important drug targets to increase acetylcholine levels. In this study, we aimed to develop acetylcholinesterase inhibitor compounds. For this, we synthesized compounds 6(a–e) bearing 3(2H)-pyridazinone and 1,2,4-triazole ring structures. We determined the IC50, Ki and inhibition types of N-substituted-(p-methoxyphenyl)pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives that we synthesized and elucidated their structures. The compound with the best AChE activity was compound 6b (Ki = 3.73 ± 0.9 nM) with the p-methylphenyl group it carried and showed competitive inhibition. Kinetic study was also performed for the compounds with the highest BChE 6a (Ki = 0.95 ± 0.16 nM) inhibitory activities. Molecular docking studies have shown that the p-methylphenyl group is indeed active in the hinge region of the AChE crystal structure as a result of experimental activity. In addition, the best free binding energy (ΔGBind), docking score and Glide score values were determined by examining the interactions with AChE crystal structure for compound 6b and with BChE crystal structure for 6a in silico approaches.
